Florida is another team.A few years ago i believe the Canucks and Oilers did not broadcast all their games.Either that or they were on a ppv.

So the pens have only 3 games on Versus? or whatever its called now. Thats great, for some reason I dont have it in my DirecTV anymore.. had it last year.

Versus is now NBC Sports Network and it is on channel 220 on DirecTV.Also if you are NOTin the Pittsburgh Market and the game is on Root Sports as well as NHL Network or NBC Sports Network it will only be shown on NHL Network or NBC Sports Network. Set your Tivo accordingly.

The Blackhawks never had home games televised until the middle of the 2007 season. Six weeks after their old-as-dirt and obviously out of touch with reality fanbase destroying owner died, his son took over the team and they started airing home games.

I remember when I was younger and the Penguins had their ridiculous pay-per-view channel for a few home games. Only lasted a couple years, most likely because everyone I knew just gave the broadcast the Playboy channel treatment and watched it scrambled.
